DESCRIPTION Light therapy involves the use of visible light or non-visible ultraviolet light to treat a variety of conditions.

OVERVIEW A special form of UV blood irradiation, called photopheresis or extracorporeal photochemotherapy, also inhibits T-cell lymphoma and may be helpful for other conditions..

UV blood irradiation.Proponents of UV blood irradiation claim that UV light exposure kills germs such as viruses, bacteria, and fungi inside the body, and that it neutralizes toxins in the blood. Some claim that when even a very small amount of UV-treated blood re-enters the circulatory system of the patient it stimulates the immune system and increases attacks against invaders, including cancer cells.

What is the history behind it?Interest in the relationship between light and health dates back centuries. All forms of light therapy now in use started during the 20th century. The first reports of ultraviolet blood irradiation date back to the 1930s.

What is the evidence? Ultraviolet blood irradiation treatment is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for treating T-cell lymphoma involving the skin. Clinical trials look promising for the treatment of immune system diseases such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, rejection of transplanted organs, and graft-versus-host disease (a complication related to bone marrow or stem cell transplants). Available scientific evidence does not support claims for alternative uses of UV blood irradiation.
